I have not encountered many discriminatory or racist people/acts in person for my whole life. I've always been glad that I live in a place that boasts of its multiculturalism and acceptance of diverse ethnicities. But today, I just experienced how some "white" people are still unfriendly  and down right rude towards "us", the ethnic minorities.

My mom and I were just driving back home from the mall. We were driving on a 2 lane road and out of nowhere this red truck honks his horn and zooms up from behind and then cuts in front of us and then speeds off. Ok, no big deal, they're probably in a rush. But it's not like my mom was driving at a granny pace. We were just driving at the speed limit. There's nothing wrong with that. So then when we reached the intersection up ahead, we saw the same red truck stopped at the light. We stopped in the lane next to them because we were turning left. I glanced to my right and the driver was like this middle aged man with his son, probably in his late teens or early 20's. I wasn't even staring at him but the driver gave me a dirty look and F*CKING SPAT AT MY WINDOW. WTF WTF WTF. How disgusting can that be? Not just the act but the attitude, the discrimination and blatant unfriendliness that I/we have to put up with.

Maybe the guy has road rage, maybe he's had a bad day, maybe he's not really racist but just lost his temper at something and aimed it at us, who just happened to be Chinese. I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt but really, what kind of civilized person SPITS at another car? I know a majority of Caucasian people are great and friendly. It's just those kind of people that give the rest a bad name.

Anyways, I'm gonna go watch Hanakimi and chill with a bowl of ice cream. XD
